This weekend is Ice Bowl weekend. Saturday, satellite events at Rosedale up top and down under. Sunday is the main event at Swope. Two courses will be set up. 18 hole qualifying rounds in the morning, Final 9 in the afternoon.

After discussion with Jack Lowe, I believe that Swope Park Disc Golf Course will still be in the ground on Saturday, February 3, but may not be on Saturday, February 10. Don't read into that anything more than that, as a date certain has not been announced for when the course will be pulled.

Saturday, February 3, 2018 at Swope Silver and Gold will be a flex start event. First cards can go out at 9 AM, last card out at High Noon. I will make arrangements to get people their payouts - I know people won't want to wait around. That said, I want to give as many people as the opportunity to play one last singles rated round at Swope.

The cost is $5 for KCFDC Members, and $6 for non-members. Add a buck for the ace fund.

I will consult with Dean Gary, and hopefully I can get the Swope to the following course set up - I want to cover every inch of the Swope course:

1. Long, double mando, par 32. Middle (the long position that's left), par 33. Long across the street, par 44. Long, par 4 - no mando5. Long pad, long left par 3Gold 1. 1092 foot par 5 - no ropes, only street and parking lot OBGold 2. Only, par 3Gold 3. Only, par 3Gold 4. Only, par 36. Long, par 37. Left - double mando (hey, I want an ace run hole), par 38. Long, par 3 - no mando9. Short - mando left of tree, par 310. Long - mando left, retee if missed, par 311. Long pad to long over hill, par 412. Long, par 313. Long pad to cliff (rocks left are NOT OB; street is hazard area), par 414. Long pad to long - mando left of tree, par 315. Short (hey, I want another ace run hole), par 315A. Street behind barricades to peninsula hole, par 316. KCWO Long pad to long left on corner, par 416A. 16 short pad to short basket. par 317. Short (double mando - hey a third ace run hole!), par 3 18. Long pad to long, par 4

24 holes. Par 79.

All roads that cars have access to are OB. If there is paint, use the paint as the OB line. Benefit of the doubt goes to the player. Over those roads is also OB.

Any parking lots that cars have access to are OB.

The rock circles in the fairways are OB. The painted line (assuming I have a chance to paint) marks the OB. The rocks by the roads are NOT OB markers. The rocks on 13 are NOT OB.

Hole 3, the entrance road and parking lot play as a pond/river. The main road is OB.

Gold 1. The entrance road plays as a river. The main road is OB.

The road between 13 and 14 will be a hazard area (play from road, 1 shot penalty). Both sides of the road are safe on 13, over that road is OB on 14.

Hole 15A must come to rest on the peninsula on your drive. If you do not come to rest on the peninsula, play from the DZ with a 1 shot penalty.

See ya Saturday at Swope Park, one last time.

Of note: if someone is at Swope with keys when the last card is in, I'll happily move baskets to make it more friendly, or I can come out early Sunday morning to move baskets. Again, I'll talk to Gary Birge about that.

If you are owed a voucher from a previous league, including Swope, those are at DDKC. please pick them up and use them soon. If I owe you cash, you can see me at the Frostbreaker or make arrangements for me to get it to you.

26 players out to the final KCFDC Safari Saturday at Birdland today. Thanks everyone for coming out and playing in the cold.

Also, for people that don't know, this was my last league to run. I appreciate all of the kind words that everyone has had for me and the leagues that I have ran - Shawnee Mission Park, the PDGA Traveling League during the summer, and the Safari Saturday league in the winter. I also would like to thank everyone for coming to the league. Without you, it wouldn't happen. I don't know who will take up running the league, but I assume someone will. If the new league director wants this Facebook page, we will work that out. Otherwise, I'll just post tournament information from time to time. If you're looking for me, I will probably be playing Cliff Drive casually. Why? Because I can.

Look for KCFDC summer leagues to start sometime around the first of April.

Special shout out to Paul Hirt, Matt Hirt, and Thomas O for making every single week! We had 153 different players play 401 of golf over 10 weeks. Fantastic.The league should be posted to the PDGA site on the March 13 update, which is the first 2018 update.
